GLOW Thumbs Up

Photo Contest Entry - SPA Results
These young Armenian women campers and counselors and Peace Corps Volunteers are saying thumbs up to the results of the GLOW Camp 2013. During GLOW Camp 2013, PCVs partnered with Stepanvan Youth Center to provide an intensive camp for 40 girls ages 13 – 16. From July 1 – 6, they participated in trainings, exercises and discussions on leadership, self-esteem, gender equality, trafficking, domestic violence, peer education and social networking. After camp, everyone will “take it back” to their local communities via regional seminars and local peer education. Junior counselors and selected campers will join with the PCVs and partner organization to tell their GLOW story to Armenian businesses with interest in social responsibility. They will encourage corporate participation in future camps and continuing peer education throughout Armenia as a way to ensure a sustainable future for this project. We say “Thumbs up to the thriving future of Armenia.”
